Box 291 was struck on October 16, 2009 (Group 2 working) for a building fire at 14 Horace Street. Firefighters arrived to find a 1 1/2 story warehouse on the Harding Street side of the property heavily charged with smoke with fire showing from the "C-D" corner of the building and extending into the roof area. Firefighters forced entry into the building and an aggressive interior attack confined the fire to this area of the building. The box was transmitted at 1605 hrs followed by a Second Alarm on orders of D/C Lucia at 1612 hours. (Photos below by Capt. Charlie Breen)

Heavy fire engulfs the occupied 2 1/2 story duplex at 11 Harvard Place on the evening of December 6, 2007. This photo by Jim Swanton shows the first attack line being stretched and the heavy fire conditions first arriving companies were met with. At the same time, search and rescue operations were underway at the rear of the building to remove two unconscious victims. At the time of the first alarm, the SFD was stretched thin with companies working a multiple injury auto accident at Mystic Avenue and Temple Street and companies just clearing a one room fire at 73 Perkins Street all in the east end. As usual, Engine Four was out of service.

Fire conditions on the "D" side shortly after arrival.

"FIGHT FOR LIFE" Firefighters, Police and Cataldo EMS work to revive both victims after their rescue from the first floor of the blazing home.

Firefighters extinguish the smoldering remains of a two car garage which was destroyed during the Second Alarm at 11 Lester Terrace on Saturday night, April 14, 2007. Two vehicles inside the garage were also destroyed and flames spread to the attached dwelling.

Firefighters work to extinguish the burning garage and vehicles as heavy smoke pushes from the building. Firefighters were successful in preventing the flames from destroying the attached dwelling.

Lt. Steve Ortolani views damage that heat from the blazing garage caused to Engine Six's pump. Flames bursting out the front of the garage caused damage to the paint, melted several lights and cracked several windows. Lester Terrace is a tightly congested, dead end street.

Heavy fire conditions greeted first arriving companies during a 2nd Alarm fire at 10 Pinckney St. on the afternoon of December 21st, 2006. The second floor rear of the two story dwelling was heavily involved and as is most often the case in this city, an adjacent dwelling was severely exposed and started to ignite. Not only was Engine 4 out of service as usual, but Engines 6 & 7 were committed to other incidents at the time of the 2nd Alarm and were unable to respond. Fire Alarm was forced to rely upon out of town companies to back up the first alarm companies who were heavily engaged and trying to keep the fire from spreading to additional homes.

Firefighters work to open the roof and get ahead of the rapidly advancing fire in the cockloft. The two story home was unoccupied at the time of the fire which spread through the walls and ceilings of both floors. The adjacent house at # 12 Pinckney Street suffered exterior fire damage.
